A
teenage boy was detained by police in neighbouring Thane district for
questioning on Wednesday (November 28) in connection with an allegedly vulgar
post on Facebook against MNS chief Raj Thackeray.

However, police
later said that a "fake account" was used by unidentified person or persons in
the teenager's name.

"We have received a complaint against a person
that he posted some objectionable comments against Raj Thackeray on Facebook. We
are questioning him as we do not want to repeat the same mistakes committed a
few days ago," an officer at Palghar police station said, speaking on condition
of anonymity.

The boy has not been charged and police have sought
legal opinion, he said.

Kundan Sankhe, president of Thane rural unit
of the MNS, has claimed the boy had made "vulgar" comments about Raj Thackeray,
and the people of Maharashtra, including women. Late in the night, Additional
Superintendent of Police, Thane, S Nishandar said that as per the probe, some
unidentified person created a fake account in the name of Sunil Vishwakarma, and
posted objectionable comment about Thackeray and Maharashtrians in his name.
Vishwakarma (19) had accessed his own Facebook account last on Monday, while the
comment on fake account was posted the next day.

"Vishwakarma is
helping us. We have registered a case against unidentified person," Nishandar
added. The incident came close on the heels of the arrest of two girls at
Palghar over a Facebook comment by one of them on the shut-down of the city
following Shiv Sena chief Bal hackeray's funeral.
